Fantasy Tip: Bullock is clearly on the hot seat, but the tryout may also just be a means of motivating the incumbent, too. Seasonal players will want to take a wait-and-see approach and stay the course until there is an official announcement. The Texans are averaging two field goal attempts per game through the first three weeks of the season, and the Houston defense projects favorably most weeks, so the job has value, especially in the right matchups.

The Detroit Lions will have a competition for the long-term kicking job in training camp, with PKs Nate Freese and Giorgio Tavecchio competing for the spot. "It's good so far," Freese said Tuesday at the NFL Rookie Symposium in Berea, Ohio. "I'm glad that there's some competition. Competition makes everyone better."

Green Bay Packers K's Mason Crosby, Giorgio Tavecchio and Zach Ramirez all attempted kicks Sunday, Aug. 25 during practice. Crosby went 10 for 11, missing wide left from 53 yards. Tavecchio went 9 for 11, missing wide right from 45 and wide left from 63. Ramirez went 10 for 11, with his miss coming from 45 yards. The situation of who will kick for the Packers remains fluid. "There's a job available and someone needs to jump through the door and take it. That hasn't happened yet," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.

Green Bay Packers PK Mason Crosby connected on nine of his 10 field goals, winning a kicking period for the first time all camp in his battle against PK Giorgio Tavecchio Monday, Aug. 19. Tavecchio made eight of his 10 attempts, and he has hit 45 of 51 field goal attempts in practice/scrimmages, while Crosby has made 41 of 51. The team plans to continue the kicking competition for at least another week.

Green Bay Packers PK Mason Crosby is being pushed hard by PK Giorgio Tavecchio in training camp, and the decision on who wins the starting job is expected to come down to the final three preseason games. Crosby has reportedly outperformed Tavecchio on kickoffs in camp, while Tavecchio has made 89.7 percent (35 of 39) field goals, as opposed to 76.9 percent (30 of 39) for Crosby.

Fantasy Tip: Whoever wins the Green Bay kicker job is valuable from a fantasy perspective, as this team can score plenty of points. However, due to the uncertainty, avoid both Crosby and Tavecchio in earlier drafts until a clear-cut winner emerges.

Green Bay Packers PK Mason Crosby made only three of his eight field goal attempts during practice Saturday, Aug. 3. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he will need to perform better if he wants to keep his kicker job. PK Giorgio Tavecchio made six of his seven attempts but appeared to barely have the leg strength for the longer field goals.
